While the assault left Iran undoubtedly damaged, it nonetheless provided lessons about its nuclear and military capabilities, as well as the domestic standing of the Islamic Republic itself."

US intelligence report scales back claims on damage to Iranian nuclear facilities: Report

Last update:~17:20 EDT
"CNN reported on Tuesday that an initial assessment of the strikes by the US Defence Intelligence Agency was that the main components of Iran’s nuclear programme were intact and likely only set back by months.
This flies in the face of Trump saying that the US air strikes “completely and totally obliterated” Iran’s nuclear programme. The White House trumpeted its bombing of Iran’s Fordow, Isfahan and Natanz enrichment complexes as a major military feat that surprised Iran."

Valdobbiadene (TV): PROSECCO CYCLING, domenica 28 settembre 2025
L’evento di Valdobbiadene del 28 settembre introduce il “tempo minimo”: partenza alle 8.30 e non entrerà in classifica chi completerà i 100 km di percorso tra i vigneti prima delle 11.40. L’organizzatore Massimo Stefani: “Vogliamo garantire la massima sicurezza e rendere l’evento ancora più originale e divertente”
Alla Prosecco Cycling non fa difetto l’originalità, la capacità di proporre nuove idee per rendere l’evento sempre più coinvolgente e attrattivo. La novità dell’edizione 2025, in programma domenica 28 settembre, è l’introduzione di una sorta di “tempo minimo”: chi concluderà il percorso tra le splendide colline del Prosecco di Conegliano e Valdobbiadene prima delle 11.40 non entrerà in classifica.
Considerando che la partenza in Piazza Marconi a Valdobbiadene è prevista alle 8.30, significa che i partecipanti alla Prosecco Cycling 2025 non potranno giungere al traguardo in meno di 3 ore 10’. Ne uscirà rafforzato l’invito che da sempre la Prosecco Cycling rivolge ai partecipanti - pedalate senza fretta, alzate la testa dal manubrio e godetevi il paesaggio che incontrerete lungo il tragitto tra i vigneti - ma soprattutto l’evento di Valdobbiadene offrirà un’esperienza ancora più inedita e coinvolgente: perché da queste parti, dove la festa inizia alla fine, non c’è motivo per spingere sempre a fondo sui pedali.

Help Mikayla Raines get justice! Make noise and let the press know about Reddit safegaurding r/saveafoxsnark even after a poor innocent women commited suicide!
Hey there! There is a Reddit subreddit called r/saveafoxsnark which bullied, harrased and spread outright lies about an animal rescuer and digital content creator called Mikayla Raines, which pushed her to commit suicide. Reddit is not banning r/saveafoxsnark even after an innocent women committed suicide! I was not comfortable being a member of a platform which gives space to communities which basically pushes someone to commit suicide. By being there I was letting Reddit gain money by selling my data, so I decided to not allow it anymore. I was a long time Reddit qunkie and couldn’t quit it and kept on going back there. But never again! I have permanently moved into Lemmy! Please help me spread this and help Mikayla get justice! Make Reddit accountable!

US strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites only set back program by months, Pentagon report says
Findings by Defense Intelligence Agency suggest Trump’s declaration that sites were ‘obliterated’ may be overstated
An initial classified US assessment of Donald Trump’s strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities over the weekend says they did not destroy two of the sites and likely only set back the nuclear program by a few months, according to two people familiar with the report.
The report produced by the Defense Intelligence Agency – the intelligence arm of the Pentagon – concluded key components of the nuclear program, including centrifuges, were capable of being restarted within months.
The report also found that much of Iran’s stockpile of highly enriched uranium that could be put to use for a possible nuclear weapon was moved before the strikes and may have been moved to other secret nuclear sites maintained by Iran.

[JS Required] Boeing’s Inadequate ‘Training, Guidance and Oversight’ Led to Mid-Exit Door Plug Blowout on Passenger Jet
FAA cited for ineffective oversight of Boeing’s known recordkeeping issues
WASHINGTON (June 24, 2025) — The National Transportation Safety Board Tuesday said the probable cause of last year’s in-flight mid-exit door (MED) plug blowout on a Boeing 737 MAX 9 was Boeing’s failure to “provide adequate training, guidance and oversight” to its factory workers.
The NTSB also found the Federal Aviation Administration was ineffective in ensuring Boeing addressed “repetitive and systemic” nonconformance issues associated with its parts removal process.
The NTSB also concluded that in the two years before the accident, Boeing’s voluntary safety management system, or SMS, was inadequate, lacked formal FAA oversight, and did not proactively identify and mitigate risks. The investigation found that accurate and ongoing data about overall safety culture is necessary for an SMS to be successfully integrated into a quality management system.
On Jan. 5, 2024, the Boeing 737-9, operated as Alaska Airlines flight 1282, was climbing through 14,830 feet about six minutes after takeoff from Portland, Oregon, when the left MED plug departed the airplane. During the rapid depressurization, some passengers’ belongings were sucked out of the airplane, oxygen masks dropped from the overhead passenger service units, and the door to the flight deck swung open, injuring a flight attendant. In addition to the flight attendant, seven passengers received minor injuries. The two pilots, the other three flight attendants and the remaining 164 passengers were uninjured. The flight was destined for Ontario, California.
“The safety deficiencies that led to this accident should have been evident to Boeing and to the FAA — should have been preventable,” NTSB Chairwoman Jennifer Homendy said. “This time, it was missing bolts securing the MED plug. But the same safety deficiencies that led to this accident could just as easily have led to other manufacturing quality escapes and, perhaps, other accidents.”
The MED plug was found in a Portland neighborhood two days after the accident. When investigators examined the recovered plug, they found evidence that the four bolts needed to secure the plug were missing before the accident occurred. Without the bolts, NTSB investigators found the unsecured plug “had moved incrementally upward during previous flight cycles” until it departed the airplane during the accident flight.
The airplane had been delivered to Alaska Airlines three months earlier. Investigators determined that the door plug was opened without the required documentation in Boeing’s Renton, Washington, factory on Sept. 18, 2023, to perform rivet repair work on the fuselage. The door plug was closed the following day. While Boeing’s procedures called for specific technicians to open or close MED plugs, none of the specialized workers were working at the time the door plug was closed. The absence of proper documentation of the door plug work meant no quality assurance inspection of the plug closure occurred.
The investigation also highlighted the need for additional training on flight crew oxygen masks and their communication systems and the need for greater voluntary use of child restraint systems by caregivers of those under two years of age.
The NTSB issued new safety recommendations to the FAA and Boeing. Previously issued recommendations were reiterated to the FAA, Airlines for America, the National Air Carrier Association and Regional Airline Association.
The executive summary of the report, including the findings, probable cause and safety recommendations, is available online. Additional material, including the preliminary report, previously issued safety recommendations, news releases, the public docket, investigative updates and links to photos and videos, is available on the accident investigation webpage.
The final report will be published in the coming weeks on NTSB.gov.

Israel's failure to subdue Iran shows it can no longer dictate the regional order

"Israel sustained more damage from Iran’s missiles in 12 days than it did from two years of Hamas’s homegrown rockets, or indeed from months of war with Hezbollah.
In 12 days, Israeli crews have come to grips with the sort of damage to apartment blocks that before only Israeli planes had inflicted on Gaza and Lebanon - and it’s been something of a shock. Strategic targets have been hit, including an oil refinery and a power station. Iran has also reported strikes on Israeli military facilities, although Israel’s strict censorship regime makes these assertions difficult to verify. "

Io’s Missing Magma Ocean
In the late 1970s, scientists conjectured that Io was likely a volcanic world, heated by tidal forces from Jupiter that squeeze it along its elliptical orbit. Only months later, images from Voyager 1’s flyby confirmed the moon’s volcanism. Magnetometer data from Galileo’s later flyby suggested that tidal heating had created a shallow magma ocean that powered the moon’s volcanic activity. But newly analyzed data from Juno’s flyby shows that Io doesn’t have a magma ocean after all.
The new flyby used radio transmission data to measure any little wobbles that Io caused by tugging Juno off its expected course. The team expected a magma ocean to cause plenty of distortions for the spacecraft, but the effect was much slighter than expected. Their conclusion? Io has no magma ocean lurking under its crust. The results don’t preclude a deeper magma ocean, but at what point do you distinguish a magma ocean from a body’s liquid core?
Instead, scientists are now exploring the possibility that Io’s magma shoots up from much smaller pockets of magma rather than one enormous, shared source. (Image credit: NASA/JPL/USGS; research credit: R. Park et al.; see also Quanta)
